Overactive Bladder: Practical Management provides urologists,
gynecologists and other health practitioners with
a comprehensive clinical guide to this very common problem,
resulting in a perfect resource to consult time and time
again.
Beginning with an introductory section covering the definition and
pathophysiolgy of OAB, it then moves on to cover evaluation,
first-line management, second-line management and finally
surgery.
Well-illustrated throughout, each chapter begins with a key points
box outlining the most important take-home messages. Also
included are clear management algorithms to aid decision-making,
‘Do’s and Don’t’ boxes to help avoid errors made, key references to
the top journal articles, and the very latest guidelines from the
EAU, AUA and other major urology societies.
Chapters are written by the top names in the field and the entire
book is expertly edited by Jacques Corcos, John Heesakkers and
Scott Mac Diarmid. The result is a consistent, comprehensive
and fully up to date approach to OAB, providing urologists managing
patients with this condition with rapid access, specialist clinical
guidance.
